Qin Zhong listened to the boring class for two hours early in the morning, saying that he was sleepy and yawned, so Qin Keqing asked Ruizhu to serve him to rest in the room, take off his shoes and take a nap, Ruizhu still came out to serve Baozhu outside.

Although there are Qin Zhong, Baozhu, and Ruizhu on their side, the etiquette and religion defense in this era are extremely harsh, even if Jia Cong is still young, he feels inconvenient, and when he wants to get up and go out, Qin Keqing suddenly asked: "How does Uncle Cong think of the head of the East Mansion?" ”

The internal affairs of Ning Guofu are managed by You Shi and Qin Keqing, and Qin Keqing's good reputation is also highlighted among the housekeepers.

"Fortunately, there are two mansions in the east and west, and the descendants of the same family, who doesn't know that the senior sister is the most popular." Jia Cong said perfunctorily.

"Senior sister?" The more Qin Keqing listened, the more strange she felt, but from the perspective of Qin Ye as a teacher, it was not inappropriate for him to call him so, she tried: "Senior brother? ”

"Hmm." Jia Cong replied seriously.

"Poof!" Qin Keqing bowed down the table and laughed silently, the indigo printed shawl on the fragrant shoulders trembled, and when she raised her face, the pear vortex on her cheeks loomed, as if she felt that it was inappropriate in front of people, she said: "Ruizhu, Baozhu, you ask Steward Qin to take a look at the accounts." ”

Ruizhu and Baozhu went out together, Qin Keqing's face was calm, and Jia Cong saw the rice paper spread out on the table, which was a column of delicate handwriting:

Come downstairs, the golden hairpin falls,

Ask the sky, where are the people?

hated the king and grandson, and went all the way,

It is difficult to stay with the wrongdoers.

I regret that I missed my mouth,

There is a turn-in, and there is no turn-in.

Why ask, don't use a knife to separate.

From now on, don't rely on the enemy, and the lovesickness will be wiped out.

This is the Song Dynasty poetess Zhu Shuzhen's "Broken Intestine Riddle", this poem can be regarded as a riddle, containing ten Chinese characters from one to ten, and the words and sentences contain a woman's liver and intestines, sorrow and determination, why did Qin Keqing write it?

"Senior brother, you say, why did we women stay in the boudoir for ancient times? Can't you show your eyebrows in your life? She looked out the window and cut the eaves of the spring swallow, as if she was talking to others, and as if talking to herself.

This question is not easy to answer, especially for women in ancient times, Jia Cong was speechless for a long time, and said: "What Senior Sister said is not true, I have heard people say that in ancient times, there were matrilineal clans, that was the golden age of women, they held power, and the people at that time only knew their mothers, but not their fathers, and marriage was not determined by men, it was called service marriage." ”

"I see." Qin Keqing replied: "Whoever has the power will be in charge, right?" At this time, men are in power, so we women are appendages. ”

Jia Cong nodded.

Qin Keqing's warm voice was mixed with unwillingness: "Unmarried from the father, married to the husband, married to the son, three from the four virtues, I also admit it, as if born righteous, women should be like this, marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog." But in "The Collection of Virtuous Ladies" and "The Biography of the Daughters", women do not hesitate to cut their noses, mutilate themselves, wrap them into small feet, feel pain, and have difficulty moving. ”

The infinite charm of the light woman she had seen in the past disappeared, and was replaced by a pair of sad eyes, did she just want to pour out the things that were stuffed in her heart?

"Senior sister, it's very cruel, but this world is like this." Jia Cong intermittently: "Before Cheng Zhu Lixue, "The Book of Rites, Four Systems of Mourning Clothes" contained, the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, Lu Jun's daughter, married to the Song Kingdom, named Song Boji, one day, the Song Kingdom caught fire, Song Boji refused to leave, and was burned alive by the fire. Just because, when you go out, you must bring an entourage, otherwise Song Boji will be unchaste and unclean. ”

"yes." Qin Keqing interface: "Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing", how pity and sympathy he is for the women in the rivers and lakes, it is this great poet who bought a maidservant girl and showed off to his friends, 'Cherry Fan Sukou, willow small waist', the name has been passed down through the ages, and the maid is given away and exchanged, which is even more fashionable." ”

What is this, Zhu Xi, the master of Cheng Zhu Lixue, shouted "Preserve Heavenly Principles, Destroy People's Desires", and at the same time got his daughter-in-law.

Yang Guifei was also Li Longji's daughter-in-law, Li Longji, the emperor of the prosperous Kaiyuan Dynasty, had a harem of 40,000, one a day, and it couldn't be done in a hundred years......

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che Jinwu Zangjiao, it is said that he also accepted his aunt into the palace. Wu Zetian served Taizong and served Gaozong. The old Zhu family in the Ming Dynasty, it is not uncommon for cousins and sisters to come beyond ethics. My merry emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, that is even more unwanted, my brother-in-law Fu Heng's wife has been by him, and his name has been lost through the ages.

Therefore, some people say that the dynasties and dynasties are like this: stinky men, dirty Tang, Song Dynasty is not clear, Ming is sloppy, and clear nose.

The more concentrated the power, the easier it is to break morality and ethics, no wonder some people in ancient times issued the cry of "all emperors are thieves".

In this regard, Jia Cong can't do anything at all, how can he fight against the entire feudal etiquette by himself? Further, why fight it?

Yes, feudal etiquette is the sorrow of women, arranged marriages are old wastes and antiques in the eyes of modern people, Lu You and Tang Wan love each other and can't stay together for life, can't be together. Modern people can be free to be together, but there are not many people who love each other. Love, not without, but, can not last.

Is this a problem with the system? No, it's a problem of human organization, a problem of human nature. Whether you admit it or not, human beings are group animals, their nature is polygamous, whether they are male or female, so it will be like this in ancient times, and it will be like this in modern times. Many sociologists and historians have proven this fact.

It's just that the environment has given us ethics, morality, shame, jealousy, chastity, and affection...... Children don't have these things, morality comes from habits, and habits come from life.

The more thoroughly people see the problem, the less easy they actually live their lives, because many essential things are always incompatible with reality, Jia Cong has nothing to say, and having nothing to say is not because he has nothing to say, but because he didn't find the object to talk to and chose to be silent.

If you continue to talk about it, it is just an empty theory, unrealistic and will deepen her pain, Qin Keqing will bow down on the table and cry bitterly, the jade hairpin is obliquely inserted, decorated with jewels, at this moment she is no longer Mrs. Changfang, Xiaorong's grandmother, but a little woman with pain in her heart and unspeakable. Talking about things in the palace with lust, the parrot doesn't dare to say anything in front of them, the palace maids are so, the aristocratic women are so, ordinary women are running around because of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and the time of their lives is in front of the door when the old tree withers, mediocre past, and the aristocratic women, they and a group of women, surrounded by a group of men who use benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom, and trust, gentleness, courtesy, and frugality to decorate their appearance. But can you escape for a lifetime? If you can run a monk, you can't run the temple after all.

"Tang Law" mentioned the reconciliation and separation of husband and wife, "Qing Dynasty Law": If the husband and wife are not in harmony, and those who wish to leave, do not sit. The same as the Law of Dashun.

If the husband and wife are not in harmony, both parties are willing, they can get a divorce, isn't it very modern? Humanized? That's wrong, what if the woman is willing, but the man doesn't let go?

A woman who runs away from her husband, "The Laws of the Qing Dynasty": 100 rods, married and sold from her husband. The same as the Law of Dashun.

Therefore, as long as Jia Zhen doesn't let Jia Rong let go, Qin Keqing can only end her life sadly.

In Chinese history, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the law was still not perfect, they stipulated that the husband would not be punished for theft, and the wife should be punished, because the wife did not persuade the husband. Our Qing Dynasty fully declared their barbarity to the whole world with bloody means and world-famous "cultural and martial arts".

In addition, the "Laws of the Qing Dynasty" stipulates that "those who marry their aunts and two aunts and sisters shall be given eighty rods and divorced", which is a prohibition on the marriage of close relatives.

Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu are aunts and cousins, and Xue Baochai and Jia Baoyu are two aunts and cousins. That is to say, if it was in the Qing Dynasty, Jia Baoyu could neither marry Lin Daiyu nor Xue Baochai, otherwise the result would be "eighty rods and divorce", which was not the case in the "Dashun Law" of the current dynasty.

Qin Keqing raised her head again, realizing that she had lost her temper, the fat powder had been spent, and her jade hand stroked her hairpin sideburns, only to find that her newly recognized "little junior brother" had already left silently, outside the window, the spring was bright, and the swallows cut their tails and wrapped themselves under the corridor.
